Worth every cent

Intel Core i5-2500K - Core i5 2nd Gen Sandy Bridge Quad-Core 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Intel HD Graphics 3000 Desktop Processor - BX80623I52500K
Intel Core i5-2500K - Core i5 2nd Gen Sandy Bridge Quad-Core 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Intel HD Graphics 3000 Desktop Processor - BX80623I52500K

Pros: I chose the i5-2500k because I thought someday I would get into overclocking.. A year into my ownership I have never found the need to. It is fast, efficient, and I have yet to run into any applications that have really given me guff

Cons: The stock CPU fan was problematic in trying to attach to the motherboard. I had a few problems but once I got it in there it was a decent fan I guess.

Quiet and Efficient

Pros: It's a DVD burner for under $20. Not much needs to be said, it works, its quiet, and I've never had a problem with it.

Cons: Doesn't wash my dishes

Great Watch for the price

Pros: Watch looks even better in person. Great level of detail, and sharp looking for business dress.

Cons: Only con is the band gets dusty and must be maintained.

Overall Review: Great watch, even better in person. If you don't mind wiping the band every now and again, its an amazing value.

Great Mother Board but...

Pros: Have owned for about 6 months now and overclocked i5-2500k to 4.2 with OC Genie.

Cons: I bought a a seagate external hdd with usb 3.0 and tried it out, didn't detect the harddrive so I tried a few other 2.0 devices and they didn't detect either. There are 2 slots and neither seem to respond. Maybe there is some troubleshooting I could try?

Overall Review: Works great outside of that. i5-2500k Msi P67A-C43 G. Skill ripsaw X series 8GB RAM HAF 912 XFX Double D 6850

Its exactly an HDMI

Pros: Works perfect.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I love the plastic casing on the ends. Quite reassuring upon arrival.

Great Monitor/Great Value

Pros: Bezel is subtle, picture is perfect, and its exactly what you'd expect. On top of that, value can't be beat.

Cons: Actually thought it had a glossy screen, that's just the bezel however. No big deal, still amazing picture. Stand feels out of place; looks like a cover to a stove or something..

Overall Review: It was my oversight but I think the description should indicate whether or not the screen is actually glossy or the bezel is. Still satisfied!
